Guatanamo Bay, Inside One The Most Notorious Prisons (Photos)

The
Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a United States military prison
located within Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, also referred to as Guantanamo
or GTMO in Cuba.

Since the inmates have been detained
indefinitely without trial and several inmates were severely tortured,
the operations of this camp are considered to be a major breach of human
rights by Amnesty International.

The camp was established by President George W. Bush's administration in 2002 during the War on Terror.

His
successor, President Barack Obama, promised that he would close it, but
met strong bipartisan opposition, with Congress passing laws to
prohibit detainees from Guantanamo being imprisoned in the United
States.

During Obama's administration, the number of inmates
was reduced from about 245 to 41 most former detainees were freed and
transferred to other countries.
